Abstract

Ellipsis is a unique linguistic technique that plays a significant role in maintaining continuity in text. It is often used to avoid unnecessary repetition and achieve a consistent style, as long as the readers or listeners understand the omissions. Ellipsis typically refers to the deliberate omission of a word, sentence, or clause from a document because the omitted elements have already been mentioned and do not need to be repeated. While all languages have elliptical forms, this research focuses on the frequency of nominal, verbal, and clausal ellipsis in the English language. This article examines the use of ellipsis in Ernest Hemingway's short story Hills Like White Elephants. The aim is to demonstrate the variety and ambiguity of ellipsis in prose through vocabulary analysis. The paper follows Halliday and Hasan's functional theoretical grammar approach. The results reveal that the title of the short story itself is elliptical. The analysis also discovers that Hemingway's short story contains numerous instances of ellipsis across nominal, verbal, and clausal dimensions.

Abstract

This research investigates transformative learning theory using the biographical film The Ron Clark Story, which depicts an innovative teacher's experiences in an inner-city school. Jack Mezirow defines transformative learning theory as using jarring situations and critical reflection to catalyze dramatic perspective shifts. The study seeks to bridge the gap between academic concepts and their practical applications in educational contexts. The film was analyzed using a qualitative content analysis method, which included systematic data collecting and triangulation of primary and secondary sources. The findings highlight important unsettling challenges confronting Ron Clark, such as culture differences and student resistance, prompting critical reflection and transformative learning. Clark changes his teaching skills through reflective practices, incorporating culturally relevant methods such as rap in the classroom and making personal sacrifices to help his kids. This strategy creates a transformed classroom atmosphere, improving both teaching methods and student outcomes. The study indicates that The Ron Clark Story exemplifies the transforming impact of critical reflection in education. It emphasizes the value of resilience and adaptability in teaching and offers practical advice for educators looking to apply transformative learning practices. This study adds to the discussion about transformative learning by providing a tangible example of theoretical principles put into practice, with the goal of informing professional development programs and improving educational results.

Abstract

Semantically, the construction of directional motion verbs has two significant points: manner of motion, which refers to the way the motion is performed, and path, which conveys the directional meaning. In the context of verbal construction with directional motion, the path component can be constructed through directional verbs or prepositional phrases as markers of the goal. Based on these patterns, Talmy (1975) and Slobin (2006) classified languages into three frameworks: verb-framed languages, satellite-framed languages, and equipollent-framed languages. This research aims to describe the construction of direct motion verb in Madurese language and critically analyze the position of Madurese as an Austronesian language based on the classification proposed by Talmy and Slobin. Using a descriptive-qualitative approach, this study collects primary data from native Madurese speakers, and the secondary data from article journal related to Madurese language as comparison. In conclusion, Madurese language can be categorized as a verb-framed language overall. Based on the analysis, there are several directional verbs in Madurese that can simultaneously carry meanings consistent with prepositional phrases, although in other sentence contexts, they may exhibit different semantic and syntactic patterns. Furthermore, Madurese tends to fall into the verb-framed language category as it lacks a resultative-adjective pattern, and its directional verbs are not main verbs but rather open-class adjuncts.

Abstract

This study examines the involvement of the Sea-Gypsies tribe in their children’s English education and the factors influencing their participation. The research is guided by two questions: "To what extent are the Sea-Gypsies involved in their children’s English education?" and "What motivates or discourages parents from participating in their children’s English education?" Employing a qualitative microethnographic design, the study was conducted in the Samabahari Village, Wakatobi Regency, a rural and underdeveloped area in Indonesia. The study involved 45 participants, including 20 students, 24 parents, and one English teacher. Data collection methods included in-depth interviews, observations, documents, and visual materials. The data analysis process encompassed familiarization with the data, creating initial codes, collating codes, grouping codes into themes, reviewing and revising themes, and narrating the findings. The results indicate that most parents support their children’s English learning. This support is rooted in three main beliefs: (1) English proficiency will facilitate their children’s pursuit of higher education; (2) speaking English will enhance their children’s job prospects; and (3) the ability to communicate with foreigners is advantageous.

Abstract

In semantic relations, hyponymy is a relationship where a more specialized word (the hyponym) can be categorized under a more general or generic term (the hypernym). Understanding hyponymy helps elucidate how words and phrases relate to each other in terms of meaning, allowing for the classification of concepts and objects based on their specificity or generality. This research aimed to describe the hyponymic meaning relations found in Batak Toba songs and to explain the types of hyponyms used, particularly in these songs. The study employed a descriptive qualitative research method. The data comprised Batak Toba song lyrics sourced from a YouTube video uploaded on April 23, 2021 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtSRkD9WyPU), containing fourteen songs that featured hyponymic relations. Data collection involved listening and note-taking techniques, while data analysis was guided by the theory of hyponymy proposed by Croft and Cruse. The analysis identified ten hyponymic words within the song lyrics. The study concluded that Batak Toba songs utilize hyponymic meaning relations, demonstrating how specific terms are subsumed under more general categories.

Abstract

Motivation to learn is very important to achieve learning goals, especially learning French language which is not the mother tongue for Indonesian students. Therefore, it is important to investigate the affective characteristics of those who motivate them to learn French. The research aims to see the effects of goal setting, self-efficacy, self-regulation and course attitude on motivation to learn French for students in Indonesia. This research used a descriptive qualitative approach, where 112 students participated in this research, and the data analysis process used was path analysis. The results of statistical testing show that goal setting, self-efficacy, self-regulation and course attitude have a significant effect on motivation to learn French. This proves that intrinsic and cognitive factors play a role in increasing students' motivation to learn a second language. In an indirect relationship, course attitude mediates the relationship between goal setting and self-efficacy on motivation to learn and also shows positive and significant results. This research contributes to evaluating the factors that influence student motivation in increasing effectiveness in learning a second language, namely French for Indonesian students.

Abstract

The paper aimed to investigate the phonetic and phonological differences between the consonant sounds of English and Bengali. Data were collected from secondary and primary sources. Initially, data on the phonetic and phonological properties of English and Bengali consonant sounds were gathered through content analysis of various books and journal articles. These data were then analyzed using contrastive analysis (CA) with theoretical frameworks from Received Pronunciation (RP) and Standard Bengali Pronunciation (SBP). Additionally, two interviews were conducted with English Language Teaching (ELT) experts in Bangladesh, selected through purposive sampling. The experts provided insights into the pronunciation challenges faced by Bangladeshi EFL learners due to differences between English and Bengali consonant sounds, and suggested measures to address these issues. The analysis revealed significant differences between English and Bengali consonant sounds in terms of place and manner of articulation, which contribute to substantial pronunciation problems for Bangladeshi EFL learners. Based on these findings, the study offers recommendations for teaching and learning English consonant pronunciation to EFL learners in Bangladesh.

Abstract

Highlighting one's own strengths to the general public both directly and indirectly is often termed personal branding. This term is used to build people's positive perception of personal merit. This has been done by the Prophets, one of which is Prophet Yusuf ‘alaihissalam as the verses in Surat Yusuf. The purpose of this study is to find out the personal branding model according to Peter Montoya's theory conducted by Prophet Yusuf ‘alaihissalam based on Yusuf Verse. Research with this type of qualitative is in the form of library research using content analysis in the form of Surat Yusuf in the Qur'an then analyzed descriptively to obtain conclusions. The results of this study show that Prophet Yusuf ‘alaihissalam brands himself as a dream taker, and a person who is good at keeping again knowledgeable. To strengthen his personal branding, Allah the Exalted shows many advantages including having a handsome face, justifying the results of his supervision, and making people rank in the Egyptian state at that time. The branding carried out by Prophet Yusuf himself and by Allah through His kalam shows according to Peter Montoya's personal branding principles, specialization, leadership, personality, distinctiveness, visibility, unity, persistence, and goodwill.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine English teachers’ perceptions and concerns about the implementation of the2013 curriculum in Junior high school in Indonesia. This study reports findings from interpretive case study design in a private junior high school in Medan region, Indonesia with 2 teachers. Data were generated using questionnaires, focus group interview, classroom observation and documentation. The research focus was on how the English teachers have implemented the 2013 curriculum. The findings indicate that the implementation of the curriculum was still problematic due to the teachers’ lack of knowledge of the 2013 curriculum and the teachers’ pile of work. In addition, one of the teachers was still confused with the implementation of the 2013 curriculum, to work with teenagers’ students, overcrowded classrooms, learning environments, and insufficient teaching and learning materials and facilities. This study recommends that to improve the current situation and attain quality provision of junior high schools, teachers need to develop their professional knowledge through socialization and the in-service training. The government policy planners need to provide initial teacher education that suit junior high school contexts, professional development, and conducive teaching and learning environments with available resources for effective teaching and learning practices.

Abstract

This qualitative study investigates the portrayal of human nature's mystique through theoretical analysis. Using a fabulist, mythological approach, William Golding delves into the complexities of human psychology. This study explores the novel's thematic examination of civilization and savagery, demonstrating how the boys' descent into chaos reflects both innate human wickedness and the fragility of social conventions. By analyzing characters, symbols, and narrative structures, the research clarifies the intricate relationship between civilization and barbarism through the lens of primal instincts and societal norms. The study reveals that Golding's depiction of human psychology effectively illustrates the tension between civilization and savagery. The primary text analysis shows how Golding portrays fundamental human characteristics, highlighting the inherent darkness within and the struggle to maintain societal order. Secondary sources are also carefully examined to support this argument. The significance of this study lies in its depiction of the duality of human nature as represented in the novel, offering insights into the delicate balance between our civilized veneers and underlying primal instincts.
